[maxi…] mum number of Jews before
the German evacuation of Paris, which now seems inevitable. SS leaders had only
just escaped execution by the plotters, and Brunner knows that he too would
have faced a firing squad if the assassination attempt succeeded. His
superiors, Oberg, Knochen, and Hagen, who had been arrested by the plotters and
then freed, are totally absorbed by the explanations they must give Berlin
about why they did not discover the conspiracy; some of its leaders, among them
General Karl Heinrich von Stülpnagel, the military commander in France,
were based in Paris. Brunner can now take action against the children.
Many of these children already have been arrested at least once; they
have passed through the hands of the Gestapo in Paris or other areas and have
been saved temporarily by the UGIF. Some have been transferred to Paris and on
arrival at the Gare d'Austerlitz or Gare de l'Est have been segregated and sent
to UGIF children's homes. Others, arrested in Paris with parents who were
deported without them, have been set aside at Drancy for several weeks, and the
UGIF had taken advantage of the delay to obtain permission for them to be sent
to children's homes. The Gestapo went along because at the time the numbers of
Jews in Drancy seemed sufficient for the transports planned and it thought the
children would be available for eventual deportation. A certain number of the
children, difficult to estimate, were able to leave the children's centers
through the clandestine family placement system, when claimed by their own
relatives, or simply by escaping.
Brunner and his men succeed in
arresting 250 children at the UGIF centers and send them to Drancy, where a
last large deportation convoy is being prepared. Three children are freed and
15 others, found to be children of French prisoners of war, are sent to Bergen-
